What's the end game here? None of what you did will make any measurable difference in the next 30 years.

It makes us feel better and we don't care what you think now, let alone in 30 years.

Some people here use 45 and someone used 50 and no one corrected or comment that it was bad so I went with 50.

I don't know if it will or won't. Have you ever been to a car show and some guy has a 30/40 years old low mileage, show room new mint all original car and everyone is drooling over it? Well I hope to be that owner someday. Then I will pass it onto my now 12 year old son to enjoy.

I'm in Lawrence MA and we've been very lucky this year snow wise to say the least! Here's a picture from last year...

hopefully you wash the car again before you put on the cover....any dirt or duct that settles in the waiting period will scratch the paint under the cover.

I just added soem traps on either side of the tire as well as cups with moth balls behind each tire.

I do plan on using some Detail Spray befire covering followed by a full detail in the spring with Adams Swirl n Haze and a flex tool.

I just leave mine parked in the heated garage with some fuel stabilizer and trickle charge the battery

Maxspeed · 12-11-2011, 10:39 AM

Ya, I don't have a heated garage.

Not a fan of putting mousetraps or poison out for the critters.

The bait and poisin ATTRACT the critters.

Your baby will be safe as long as there's no food source nearby and you take the precautions with steel wool, mothballs, and/or dryer sheets.

Critters want 3 things... shelter, food, and water. Take away their close proximity to each other and viola... NO CRITTERS.

Rock-It Man · 12-11-2011, 12:28 PM

I wonder what the car will smell like in the spring, due to the mothballs.

Last winter, I just put plenty of poison in the garage. The mice came in, nibbled, and died.
